Many thanks for that. It's an interesting reading. Is it updated often? There're some typos.

Also, a comment. When you show how to setup a git server with ssh, you have: $ su git $ cd $ mkdir .ssh

After su make sure umask doesn't allow group-writable, or the ssh daemon will complay about wrong permissions in .ssh and .ssh/authorized_keys.

$ su git $ umask 077 $ ..

And reset to more generous defaults after finishing with ssh setup. (Like by saving the previous value or just using 022.)

Regards, Luciano Rocha
